OLDER FICTION
Taylor, Theodore

Billy the Kid

211 pp. | Harcourt | June, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-15-204930-4 $17.00
(3) YA Taylor presents a fictional account of a desperate teenager who participates in a train robbery, is pursued by a posse, and dies young in a gunfight. The story is strong, and Taylor successfully adds psychological complexity to the shoot-em-up Western. In an author's note Taylor explains that his Billy bears no resemblance to the real cold-blooded outlaw.
